6.3 MENU SYSTEM / USER INTERFACE :
K1 hazer uses Swefog s Merlin 5, a PLC-based electronic control module, where all functions
are controlled with firmware. Product improvement is performed on a continuous basis,
and your machine s software is upgradeable using Swefog s PC-link and a USB cable.
Software & drivers required are available at swefog.com.
A lot of effort has been made to create an easy-to-use and self-explaining menu system. All
functions, messages & settings are presented in clear text and, if more suitable, with
symbols or bars. A fully graphical, high contrast OLED display is used, to simplify readout in
both dark and light environments.
Presentation of information is displayed generally with a status bar, a main window, and a
tab bar:
•
STATUS BAR presents operation mode, errors and machine status. Information only, no
user-adjustable settings.
•
MAIN WINDOW presents all necessary information and user settings and will look
different depending on what function currently active. For example, in DMX mode
(below), the address number is presented with large digits, while output levels are
presented as bar symbols. In manual mode, fog & fan output is presented as digits (%)
instead of bar symbols, and under separate tabs, to make settings easier.
•
TAB BAR indicates which main window that is currently displayed. In the below example,
the address window is active. To change between tabs, use
◄ / ► .
Basic operation procedure:
•
The machine is equipped with three control modes; DMX, manual & timer. Machine
always start-up in previously used control mode. All previous settings are automatically
pre-set. In DMX mode, the last used address is default, in manual mode, previous fog
output & fan speed are pre-set, and in timer mode, previous output settings, delay &
operate time are pre-set.
